Was at LAX terminal 6 yesterday.
While there was an elite security line downstairs, it was closed since only one agent was checking boarding passes. The non-elite line downstairs was huge.
I kindly asked the agent if he would let me in while showing him by elite card, and he did, but that was unacceptable, I don't see many elites doing this. Let's hope TSA/CO solve this issue promptly.
After I passed the security line downstairs, there were only 15-20 people in front of my upstairs.
